Serious steel Vs harambre
It’s time to buy a new set of bands, but I’m not sure which manufacturer to choose. I primarily train with a bar-and-hook system and a DIY roller platform, so I am looking for high-tension resistance bands.
I am torn between Harambee and Serious Steel 37-inch bands. Being UK-based, Harambee is almost twice the price of Serious Steel. I hear great things about their bands, but are they actually worth the extra cost.
I am hesitant to buy without feedback because I recently purchased Heavy Duty Bar Bands and was a little disappointed. While they generally receive favorable reviews, I ended up returning them because I didn't like the linear resistance profile. I found them too "stretchy" and weaker than advertised (which I verified using a digital scale). To me, they felt like a cable machine,which might be what some people are looking for, but I actually felt like they needed more stiffness and top end variance.
Given that Harambee also emphasizes the linear force curve their bands produce, I’m doubting whether I should just go with Serious Steel instead.
I would love to hear any insights before I make a purchase, particularly from anyone who has used both brands
